The Expert is In: Bipolar Disorder | Part One
Expertise on mental health conditions can come from all angles and experiences. You don’t need to have a PhD for your experiences to give you expertise around a condition. Many of us have lived experiences or have been caretakers and supporters, and each of these experiences provide us with valid insight to share.
In this episode, The Expert is In (Part 1), we listen in as DaVonte, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, chats about his experience with Mary, whose family member has bipolar disorder. Mary is a NAMI LA Chapter board member.
